Something is happening over here. It appears that some one out there has decided it is time to target Independent Eliot Cutler with an attack site and oppo dump. Cutlerfiles.com was brought to my attention yesterday by a high level staffer in the Maine Democratic Party, and buzz about the site has been circulating since [...]

Congress may have ended their session before they were able to pass job-killing energy regulations, but the EPA is taking up the slack, gearing up to begin enforcing it’s “tailoring rule” starting in January, the EPA will begin issuing “permits” designed to “allow” carbon emitters like power plants.

Last month, Rasmussen broke the ice on polling for the 2010 gubernatorial race and reported that Paul LePage had a 43% to 37% to 7% advantage over Libby Mitchell and Eliot Cutler, respectively.
